Dřevíkov is a village and municipal part of Vysočina in Chrudim District in the Pardubice Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 70 inhabitants. It is located in the central part of the municipality.

Etymology

The name is derived from the personal name Dřevík, meaning "Dřevík's (court)".

Geography

Dřevíkov is located in the central part of the Vysočina municipality, about 20 km south of Chrudim and 30 km south of Pardubice. It lies in the Iron Mountains and in the eponymous protected landscape area.

History

The first written mention of Dřevíkov is from 1542.

The history of the village is connected with the Jewish community that lived here. The first Jewish settlers came to Dřevíkov in the first half of the 18th century. Between 1837 and 1849, there was at least 25 Jewish families in the village (almost half of Dřevíkov's total population). As the Jewish people gained all civil rights, they started leaving Dřevíkov. The last Jewish family left Dřevíkov in 1910.

Transport

The I/37 road (the section from Chrudim to Žďár nad Sázavou) runs west of the village.

Sights

A cultural monument is the former Jewish street, which was established after 1701, when several Jewish families moved here. The street is an example of local folk architecture. Among the buildings in the street is the former synagogue that dates from the second half of the 18th century.

The Jewish community is commemorated by the Jewish cemetery. It was founded before 1740 and expanded to its current size in 1870. It is one of the best-preserved rural Jewish cemeteries in the Czech Republic, with a collection of valuable Baroque, Neoclassical and modern tombstones.
